The present dissertation describes an experience on art and education carried out in a private school in São Paulo, between 1984 and 2016. In such report, four practices are broached: free workshop, systematic drawing instruction, different techniques and ways of seeing, and rituals of coexistence. Analysis and reflections on such practices were developed during the course of the report, under the point of view and support of several authors, among them, Cecília Salles, Jorge Larrosa, Paulo Freire, Jacques Rancière, Michel de Certeau, Ítalo Calvino, Carl Jung, Thierry de Duve, Celso Favaretto, in addition to teacher testimonials and student talks. The dialog between so many vectors stresses the importance of art teaching in schools in all its complexity, vitality and in its contribution to an integrated growth of the student, with space to be and relate to the group. The survey analyses documents produced by art teams and presents illustrative images of such a process.
